GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 4, 1906.

Application filed April 25, 1906. Serial No. 313,672.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH Monrrz ZwAne, a citizen of the German Empire, residing at Leipzig-Lindenau, Saxony, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawlngs.

My invention relates to a garment-hanger comprising a folding ring which when folded can be used as an arched coat-hanger and when extended will hold a skirt or garment in foldless condition and in such way that all parts become conveniently accessible for cleaning purposes.

In describing my said invention I refer to the drawings herewith, in which- Figures 1 and 2 show my device in the two positions referred to; and Fig. 8, an arm, also herein referred to, from which the said ring may be suspended.

As aforesaid, the main feature of my device is a ring I) freely suspendible, by means of strings a, in such a way that it can be turned round, the garment intended for cleaning being hung from the circumference of the said ring entirely extended and without folds. The said ring is composed of two halves, which are jointedly connected with each other by means of hinges 0. In the middle of each part is provided a loop (1, the two loops bein opposite each other and movable in longitudinal direction. The said hanger or ring I) may be suspended from an arm 6. The said arm has a hooked rear end by which it may be inserted in a suitable support f, se cured in the wall or a door, while in the free end of the said arm there is inserted a hook with a laterally-curved end in such way that it can be turned round in the said arm end. The rotariness of the said hook in which the said ring is suspended by means of the strings or the like permits a turning round of the ring with the garment or skirt thereon, so that all parts of the same become accessible and can be conveniently cleaned. When a coat is to be cleaned, the said ring I) may be folded so that it forms an arched hanger, which may be suspended from the hook g by means of the said loops (1. and used in the same way as the ring, being likewise turnable in either direction.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

1. A hanger comprising the combination of an arm secured in a wall or door, a hook inserted rotatably in the free end of the said arm, a foldable ring composed of two parts and suspended from the said hook, and

means by. which the said ring may be suspended from the said hook in extended posi tion.

2. A hanger comprising the combination of an arm secured in a suitable support, a foldable ring composed of two parts and suspended from the said hook, and means by which the said ring may be suspended in folded position.

3. A folding-ring hanger composed of two parts jointed together by hinges, each of the said parts being provided with a movable loop, permitting its suspension, when folded,

from a suitable support.

4. The combination of a folding ring hanger composed of two parts jointed together and strings permitting its suspension from a suitable support, when extended.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
